Hi all,

For at least a week now, I haven't been able to access the bbc website anymore including sub-domains such as news.bbc.co.uk.

I can ping bbc.co.uk with 0%loss yet when I load the webpage with any one of the three browsers I use, it doesn't work. All I get is a blank page. Oddly, since my router is wireless, I can connect to the BBC site from my Nintendo DS via wifi. thumbup.gif

All I get is an instant blank white page when I (try to) load BBC.co.uk
BTW: I use opendns and I use HOST file filtering.

Help appreciated,

Thanks,
